This thread is pretty old, but for those who are still interested in the the kimchi recipe that uses the apple and Asian pear, I believe that I found the YouTube video of it: “How to Make Kimchi,” by Anna Metcalf.

I’m new to Kimchi-making, so I have yet to try Maangchi’s version, as well as the Apple and Asian Pear one. The latter appeals to me because it would be using less processed foods (the rice flour and sugar) and using more natural foods (apple & pear). So, theoretically, healthier? Most of the sugars are changed into lactic acid, right? So does it matter that the sugars (carbohydrates) used are from different sources, i.e. healthier sources versus less-healthy sources?
